The shipping was quite slow, so I couldn't use it as much as I wanted. Here's my experience after using only this toner for 3 nights: Here are the positive aspects I'd like to share: + Feels refreshing + Cooling sensation + Great hydration + Gentle on the skin + No blemishes + Doesn't irritate the skin + Refines skin texture + Instant glow + Helps with dead skin cells + Excellent for spot treatments + Impressive ingredients + Plays well with other brands + The personalized name makes it feel special and uplifting + Cotton pad doesn't fall apart
ConsThe slow delivery made me hesitate about writing this review. However, in the interest of providing honest feedback, here are the aspects I found disappointing: + Feels tight on the skin + Slightly sticky + Doesn't address redness + Fine lines still visible + Doesn't fully control sebum (chin, nose area) + Glow fades quickly + Lacks oil + Pads are too small + Runs out quickly + Stings the eyes + Causes deep dryness
Tip1. While regular cotton pads are too thin to effectively remove fine dust, makeup residue, or oil, using thicker cotton pads makes it easier to cleanse the skin thoroughly. 2. After it dries, applying it like a mask on pore-prone areas can be effective for pore care. 3. When time allows, leaving a thick cotton pad soaked in the toner on the skin seems to enhance its effectiveness. 4. Mixing it with a moisturizing essence that protects the skin barrier helps maintain hydration and reduces oiliness in the T-zone and butterfly zone. 5. It's extremely helpful for touch-ups during the day. 6. For those who drive, applying this before heading out can give you that 'glass skin' look. Just remember to follow up with a moisturizer!

(Though this may vary depending on individual skin types.) It's not sticky at all, and it's perfect for use before or after makeup in this weather. The pad size is just right, and I found it refreshing that the ampoule is separately sealed from the pads, rather than being mixed together. I was touched by the thoughtfulness of having each pad individually engraved - it shows real care!
ConsIt was a bit disappointing that the product's exterior was dirty when it first arrived, so I had to clean it before use. I also wondered if the pads could be a bit larger.
TipThis would be great to use during seasonal changes or when your skin feels dry. It's especially effective when used before bed or prior to applying makeup.

First off, I loved the scent! It's full of cypress fragrance, reminiscent of a forest rather than just a single tree. The scent isn't overpowering, so it felt fresh and pleasant. Being an oil-free product, it only replenishes hydration. It's perfect for those who want to lightly moisturize their skin. It really helped balance my complexion! I tend to produce excess sebum, but it seemed to slow down the oil buildup in my pores.
ConsMy skin type is combination dehydrated skin that gets oily over time! The pads seem to be slightly under-saturated with toner! Even after using up an entire container, it didn't feel quite sufficient.

Cons- Results aren't dramatic - Developed small blemishes on my chin. This was the only new product I used, so I suspect it might be the cause - However, it does provide hydration, feels lightweight, and seems to help with oil control

It's refreshing without any stickiness or excess, yet moisturizing. I used it as an exfoliating toner, and I could definitely feel the hydration, which was great. 2. Even with light use, you can clearly feel the cooling effect and notice an improvement in skin texture! 3. The pad container has a double-layer design, making it hygienic. The tweezer attachment is especially convenient. 4. The pads have an embossed side and a regular cotton side, making them versatile. The regular cotton side is incredibly soft! Overall, it seems like a great product to use before applying makeup. Although I received it as part of The Hwahae Testers program, I'd be willing to continue using it if the price was more affordable.
Cons1. Perhaps due to its watery consistency or insufficient amount of toner, the pads didn't adhere to the skin very well. 2. The embossed side of the pad can be a bit irritating. 3. I'll need to use it more, but I didn't notice significant effects on pores or sebum control. 4. I'm not sure about the benefits of it being 'customized' as claimed.

It felt special to receive a cosmetic product with my name on it - a first for me and it made me feel like I was getting a personalized gift. The pads are thin, giving a good adherence feeling. If you leave the remaining essence on for a while after wiping, it gives a mask-like effect which is great. After use, I liked that there was no oily feeling and it felt like it was absorbing well, leaving my skin hydrated.
ConsWhile I appreciate how thin they are, it was a bit inconvenient as they were difficult to peel off. I was disappointed to see traces of leakage when I opened it, perhaps the lid wasn't fully closed. However, even accounting for the leaked amount, there was still plenty of product.
TipI poured all the toner in at once, but if you pour only as much as you need each time you use it, or apply the toner to the pad as needed, you might be able to make the toner last longer.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFor someone like me with combination dehydrated skin that gets super dry during seasonal changes, this was perfect. Even when using moisturizing toners before, I rarely felt like they were truly hydrating deep down. I compared this with my usual pads and the new customized skin toner (light type) pads from Balance, and the Balance ones felt a bit more hydrating. My old ones had a slight cooling effect at first and provided some moisture, but the Balance product felt more like a mini-mask for skin care. There was a slight alcohol scent, but it wasn't overpowering. Overall, it was just okay.
ConsThe main issue is that the pad is too thin. Even though I have combination dehydrated skin, I also get dead skin cells, so I usually thoroughly wipe areas like the sides of my nose, philtrum, chin, and pores in the T-zone with pads. But since this is more of a toner pack pad without embossing, I personally didn't like it. Also, the pad is too small... I prefer larger ones, but this was tiny and thin, so it kept rolling up when I used it, which was inconvenient. For someone like me who values the quality and convenience of the pad, this was worth docking a star.
TipIt works well as a toner pack... For those who prioritize their night routine, after cleansing, you can use these toner-soaked pads to remove any residue while also exfoliating and providing some hydration. After your initial skincare step, you can place them like a mask on areas that often get flaky or dry, leave for 5 minutes, then gently wipe and pat. This helps prevent dryness and ensures your skin won't look patchy when applying makeup the next day.

I could even dry my hair with the pads on my cheeks, and they stayed moisturizing without feeling dry. It's perfect for replenishing hydration! I usually dislike slippery or sticky textures, but this light version leaves such a refreshingly clean finish. I'm really impressed!
ConsWhile there's nothing to fault with the product itself, I did notice that the tweezer storage slot on the lid became less secure over time. Also, because the pads are so thin, it can be tricky to pick up just one at a time with the tweezers. But since their thinness allows them to adhere so well to the skin, it wasn't a major concern for me.

The product guide included details about both the product and skin care, which showed they really considered each consumer when creating it. I was initially impressed by the packaging, and the texture of the product is light and refreshing, flowing like water! It gently cleanses the skin and removes impurities without being harsh, which I appreciated. It seems to help with dead skin cells removal too. Overall, I was satisfied with many aspects of this product.
ConsI haven't really found any downsides yet, but the very watery texture sometimes made the pad feel like it dried out a bit quickly.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found this great! It's a light type, so it's too gentle for the whole face, but when I focused on blemishes and the T-zone, it definitely helped control excess oil and calm acne. I usually get a lot of small bumps that turn into inflamed pimples when I pick at them. But with this, I get fewer bumps, so there's nothing to pick at! Also, as an exfoliating toner, it's pretty good. When you press the pad firmly to absorb it, it's great for deep hydration. The packaging is also super hygienic with tweezers and a secondary seal!
ConsThe pads are too thin. Not only are they hard to grab with the tweezers, but they're also a bit flimsy for use as an exfoliating toner. If they could just improve the pads, it would be perfect.
TipIf you put it on freshly popped pimple scars that look beyond saving (like in the photo), it definitely disinfects and soothes. After a few days of repeated use, the redness quickly subsides and the scars fade. I recommend it more as a 5-minute spot treatment rather than an exfoliating toner!
